My daughter uses one of our cars at college. She parks in a secure garage by her apartment. Unfortunately, due to freezing the temperatures, the gate at the entrance has been kept open. Yesterday, she received an email that some cars were broken into the previous night. The perpetrators smashed the passenger side windows to get into the car.
She was worried and called me as she was going to inspect her car. The car is fully insured against vandalism, but it's still takes time and effort to work with insurance companies and get the car repaired. Maybe a week of losing use of the car and she needed for a trip home soon.
Fortunately, her car was not damaged, probably because she does not leave anything of value in view on the seats. Just bags from take out food runs. Also, the vehicle is 22 years old and most break ins were on newer vehicles.
She was lucky. Some of the other residents at the apartment were not. Unfortunately, the video surveillance cameras did not get good pictures of the perpretators.
